Cartridge Toggle
Toggle switches become floppy
All iM3 dental units use a unique cartridge system for the toggle switches. The toggles are used to
pressurize the water/CLS bottles and select the low or high speed handpiece. When the o-rings be-
come worn you simply push the cartridge in and turn a 1/4 turn anti clockwise. The cartridge can then
be removed from the valve casing. To install a new toggle, locate the desired position, push and rotate
a 1/4 turn clockwise. New toggles can be ordered from iM3 and installed by the user. Toggles can be
installed in the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions. If the toggle is in the wrong position simply remove and
reposition. View this procedure on the iM3 website http://www.compad.com.au/cms/im3vet/pages/

SOLUTION
1. Turn compressor ON and check
that ON/ OFF tap is in the ON
position.
2. Turn water control to ON.
3. Fill water/CLS Bottle(s).
4. Check lines and pressure.
5. If yes, lack of water must be in the
valves or the handpiece. The 3 way
syringe is the quickest way to check
for water.
6. Valves will need replacing.
7. Check regulator is set at 70-80 PSI.
1. Pass a fine wire through the water
intake hole. Pass another fine wire
through the hole in the handpiece
head. Pass the wire as far as
possible each way. 'Blow out' the
loosened mineral deposits.
2. Replace valves.
